1. n. In the collective mythos
of scary devil monastery, this is an essential item
in the toolkit of every BOFH. The LART classic is a
2x4 or other large billet of wood usable as a club, to be applied upside
the head of spammers and other people who cause sysadmins more grief than
just naturally goes with the job. Perennial debates rage on alt.sysadmin.recovery over what constitutes
the truly effective LART; knobkerries, automatic weapons,
flamethrowers, and tactical nukes all have their partisans. Compare
clue-by-four.

2. v. To use a LART. Some would
add “in malice”, but some sysadmins do prefer to gently lart
their users as a first (and sometimes final) warning.

3. interj. Calling for one's LART, much as a surgeon might call
“Scalpel!”.
